FIRST THING THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!
Earth heard a rumor that there's water on Enceladus...

This article will give you a lump in your throat. Heck, I got misty-eyed just reading the title:

Oh, Yvonne. The story of them keeping the tattoo...that's too much. My college had a small museum, literally only one room. And I don't know how they acquired it, but they had one of the lampshades made from Jewish skin. Such a strange item to end up in rural Missouri.

Sarah,
My godmother's husband, who is a freelancer, got the privilege of authoring an autobiography of a Polish holocaust survivor and you might enjoy reading it. The survivor, Joe, remains a good friend of his and my husband and I got to meet him last Christmas in Florida. It was amazing and surreal, to say the least. This article is great. Thanks for sharing.

Nicole, I would love to read his Autobiography as well. If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of it? Thank you.

One of the units that liberated the concentration camp at Dachau was the U.S. 45th Infantry Division (Thunderbird Division), a National Guard outfit which included many American Indian soldiers. Revolted by what they had seen, some members of the 45th took justice into their own hands and shot a number of SS guards.
Had today's media been around then, the story of these shooting would have outweighed any reporting of what had been going on in the concentration camp under German administration.

UN
Mark Steyn is preaching to the choir for me; his assessment of the
UN's ineptitude is spot on:
Transnational institutions should reflect points of agreement: Americans don’t mind the Toronto Blue Jays playing in the same baseball league—and even winning it occasionally—because they’re all agreed on the rules of baseball. A joint North American Public Health Commission, on the other hand, would be a bureaucratic boondoggle seeking to reconcile two incompatible health systems. Imagine then what happens when you put America, Denmark, Libya and Syria on a human rights committee, and then try and explain why the verdict of such a committee should be given any weight when the U.S. is weighing its vital national interest.
It's long but it's worth it.
